Participate in virtual competitions

Virtual competitions are timed races over a set distance. You register, record one GPS-tracked workout, and DistantRace calculates your time to complete the distance.

Registration #

1. Create an account if needed.
2. Connect a sports app under Connections — use a supported app with GPS.
3. Find the competition on public events or via the organizer's link.
4. Click Registration and complete the form.
5. If there is a fee, complete checkout — free events confirm immediately.

Some virtual competitions use a simplified express registration form (single page) — Express registration. Paid events redirect to the payment flow before you are fully registered.

Private events may require a join code first.

Recording your activity #

1. Enable GPS on your phone or watch before starting.
2. Start the activity in your sports app and complete at least the required distance.
3. You may continue past the distance; only time to the target distance counts.
4. Save the activity — it syncs to DistantRace.

For distant race and challenge race formats you may need to pick which workout counts and finalize your result — see Selecting your virtual race workout. Other virtual formats calculate automatically from the first valid sync.

Results #

Results appear after sync (and after you submit/finalize a workout if required). Check the competition results and standings. Processing may take a few minutes.
